  • About

Baked sea bream is cooked on a metal grid over hot coals in northern Spain, always in the open air under an enormous canopy. The fish are cooked either whole or split open so that they cook more quickly -a perfect way for the domestic garden barbecue. If the fish is cooked whole it is then split open and the backbone removed as soon as it is ready. It can be simply dressed with some garlic and hot olive oil.
